Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The friends are arranged in a row facing north. Left and right are from the observer's perspective, corresponding to left-to-right on a page.

Deductions:

  1. Divya occupies the middle seat, which is seat 3.
  2. Bhavna is immediately to Divya's right, placing her in seat 4.
  3. Arjun is not at either end. He could be in seat 2 or 4, but seat 4 is occupied by Bhavna. Therefore, Arjun is in seat 2.
  4. Esha is at one of the ends, meaning seat 1 or seat 5.
  5. Charan is not adjacent to Esha. If Esha is in seat 5, Charan must be in seat 1.

Arrangement (from left to right):
Charan (Seat 1), Arjun (Seat 2), Divya (Seat 3), Bhavna (Seat 4), Esha (Seat 5)

Consequently, the person immediately to Arjun's left is Charan.
